An autopsy report showed Cayetano was shot in the back and suffered an exit wound through her chest, according to court documents.

Cayetano’s alleged boyfriend told officers Hamilton and another suspect had entered the apartment while he was asleep and woke him up by holding a knife to his throat, officials said. While speaking with the male victim, officers observed that he had a fresh knife wound on his neck which measured about three inches long, reports said.
